Restorative nursing program refers to nursing interventions that promote the resident’s ability to adapt and adjust to living as independently andsafely as possible. This concept actively focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning.

The following criteria for restorative nursing programs must be met in order to code 00500 per the RAI:

• Measureable objective and interventions must be documented in the care plan and in the medical record. If a restorative nuisingprogram is in place when a care plan is being revised, it is appropriate to reassess progress, goals, and duration/frequency as part ofthe care planning process. Good clinical practice would indicate that the results of this reassessment should be documented in theresident’s medical record.

• Evidence of periodic evaluation by the licensed nurse must be present in the resident’s medical record. When not contraindicated bystate practice act provisions, a progress note written by the restorative aide and countersigned by a licensed nurse is sufficient todocument the restorative nursing program once the purpose and objectives of treatment have been established.

• Nursing assistants/aides must be trained in the techniques that promote resident involvement in the activity.

• A registered nurse or a licensed practical (vocational) nurse must supervise the activities in a restorative nursing program. Sometimes,under licensed nurse supervision, other staff and volunteers will be assigned to work with specific residents. Restorative nursing doesnot require a physician’s order. Nursing homes may elect to have licensed rehabilitation professionals perform repetitive exercises andother maintenance treatments or to supervise aides performing these maintenance services. In situations where such services do notactually require the involvement of a qualified therapist, the services may not be coded as therapy in item 00400, Therapies, becausethe specific interventions are considered restorative nursing services (see item 00400, Therapies). The therapist’s time actuallyproviding the maintenance service can be included when counting restorative nursing minutes, Although therapists may participate,members of the nursing staff are still responsible for overall coordination and supervision of restorative nursing programs.

(There are no changes in the RAI version 1.12 released 9/17/2014)

Per the RAI, there are 10 (ten) identified Restorative areas.

00500A, Range of Motion (Passive): Code provision of passive movements in order to maintain flexibility and useful motion in the joints of thebody. These exercises must be individualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated and documented in the resident’s medicalrecord.

2

Page 4: OIG Review of Restorative Programs

005008, Range of Motion (Active): Code exercises performed by the resident, with cueing, supervision, or physical assist by staff that areindividualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record. Include active ROM andactive-assisted ROM.

(For both active and passive range of motion: movement by a resident that is incidental to dressing, bathing, etc., does not count as part of aformal restorative nursing program. For inclusion in this section, active or passive range of motion must be a component of an individualizedprogram that is planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record. Range of motion should be delivered by staffwho are trained in the procedures).

OOSOOC, Splint or Brace Assistance: Code provision of (1) verbal and physical guidance and direction that teaches the resident how to apply,manipulate, and care for a brace or splint; or (2) a scheduled program of applying and removing a splint or brace. These sessions areindividualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record.

(For splint or brace assistance: assess the resident’s skin and circulation under the device, and reposition the limb in correct alignment),

Training and Skill Practice: Activities including repetition, physical or verbal cueing. and/or task segmentation provided by any staff memberunder the supervision of a licensed nurse.

005000, Bed Mobility: Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident’s self-performance in moving to and from a lying position,turning side to side and positioning himself or herself in bed. These activities are individualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored,evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record.

00500E, Transfer: Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident’s self-performance in moving between surtaces or planes eitherwith or without assistive devices. These activities are individualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in theresident’s medical record.

00500F, Walking: Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident’s self-performance in walking, with or without assistive devices,These activities are individualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record.

3

Page 5: OIG Review of Restorative Programs

00500G, Dressing andlor Grooming: Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident’s self-performance in dressing andundressing, bathing and washing, and performing other personal hygiene tasks. These activities are individualized to the resident’s needs,planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record.

0050011, Eating and/or Swallowing: Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident’s self-performance in feeding oneself food andfluids, or activities used to improve or maintain the resident’s ability to ingest nutrition and hydration by mouth. These activities are individualized tothe resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record.

005001, Amputationl Prosthesis Care: Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident’s self-performance in putting on andremoving a prosthesis, caring for the prosthesis, and providing appropriate hygiene at the site where the prosthesis attaches to the body (e.g., legstump or eye socket). Dentures are not considered to be prostheses for coding this item. These activities are individualized to the resident’sneeds, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record.

00500J, Communication: Code activities provided to improve or maintain the residents self-performance in functional communication skills orassisting the resident in using residual communication skills and adaptive devices. These activities are individualized to the resident’s needs,planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record.

(The time provided for items 00500A-J must be coded separately, in time blocks of 15 minutes or more.)

TAC: §371.21 2(c)(1 6)(C) For Nursing Rehabilitation/Restorative Care, code between zero and seven the number of days on which the technique,procedure, or activity was practiced for a total of at least 15 minutes during each 24-hour period during the look back period. This includes nursinginterventions that assist or promote the recipient’s ability to attain his or her maximum functional potential, but does not include procedures ortechniques carried out by or under the direction of a qualified therapist(s), as identified in the Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programssection of the MDS. The nursing rehabilitation and/or restorative care must meet all of the following additional criteria. The look back period foritems described in this subparagraph is seven days.

(i) Measurable objectives and interventions must be documented in the care plan and in the clinical record as observed during the look backperiod.

(n) Evidence of periodic evaluation by licensed nurse must be present in the clinical record.

4

Page 6: OIG Review of Restorative Programs

(iii) Nurse assistants/aides must be trained in the techniques that promote recipient involvement in the activity.

(iv) The activities must be carried out or supervised by identified members of the nursing staff. There must be documentation, includingminutes, in the chnical record for the nursing rehabilitation and/or restorative care program as observed during the look back period. Thisdoes not include groups with more than four recipients per identified supervising helper or caregiver. There must be documented evidencethat services provided in a group setting were provided to a group of four or less.

Page 7: OIG Review of Restorative Programs

Note: Toileting programs are not listed as restorative programs but are counted in the RUG calculation.

Toileting (or trial toileting) programs refer to a specific approach that is organized, planned, documented, monitored, and evaluated that isconsistent with the nursing home’s policies and procedures and current standards of practice. A toileting program does not refer to:

• simply tracking continence status,• changing pads or wet garments, and• random assistance with toileting or hygiene.

BLADDER REHABILITATION! BLADDER RETRAINING

• A behavioral technique that requires the resident to resist or inhibit the sensation of urgency (the strong desire to urinate), to postpone ordelay voiding, and to urinate according to a timetable rather than to the urge to void.

PROMPTED VOIDING

• Prompted voiding includes (1) regular monitoring with encouragement to report continence status, (2) using a schedule and prompting theresident to toilet, and (3) praise and positive feedback when the resident is continent and attempts to toilet,

HABIT TRAINING! SCHEDULED VOIDING

• A behavior technique that calls for scheduled toileting at regular intervals on a planned basis to match the resident’s voiding habits orneeds.

Look for documentation in the medical record showing that the following three requirements have been met:

• implementation of an individualized, resident’specific toileting program that was based on an assessment of the resident’s uniquevoiding pattern

• evidence that the individualized program was communicated to staff and the resident (as appropriate) verbally and through a care plan,flow records, and a written report

• notations of the resident’s response to the toileting program and subsequent evaluations, as needed

(Guidance for developing a toileting program may be obtained from sources found in Appendix C of the RAI)

(There are no changes in the RAI version 1.12 released 911 7/2014)

Page 8: OIG Review of Restorative Programs

TAO: §371.212(c)(5) Oontinence Appliances and Programs. The look back period for items described in this paragraph is 14 days.

(A) For Scheduled Toileting Plan, check if recipient is on any scheduled toileting program. The documentation must include a plan for bowel and/orbladder elimination whereby staff members at scheduled times each day either take the recipient to the toilet, give the recipient a urinal, or remindthe recipient to go to the toilet. This includes bowel habit training and/or prompted voiding, but does not include changing wet garments. A‘program refers to a specific approach that is organized, planned, documented, monitored and evaluated. The recipient’s toileting schedule mustbe in a place where it is clearly communicated, available to and easily accessible to all stall. The care plan must indicate the recipient is on aroutine toileting schedule.

(B) For Bladder Retraining Program, check if recipient is on any bladder retraining program that is a retraining program to teach the recipient toconsciously delay urinating or to resist the urge to urinate. The care plan must include individualized goals and approaches that is organized,planned, documented monitored, and evaluated.

Page 9: OIG Review of Restorative Programs

Another “program” affecting RUG calculations is found in Section M.

M1200C Turning/Repositioning Program: Includes a consistent program for changing the resident’s position and realigning the body. “Program”is defined as a specific approach that is organized, planned, documented, monitored, and evaluated based on an assessment of the resident’sneeds.

• The turning/repositioning program is specific as to the approaches for changing the resident’s position and realigning the body. The programshould specify the intervention (e.g., reposition on side, pillows between knees) and frequency (e.g., every 2 hours).

• Progress notes, assessments, and other documentation (as dictated by facility policy) should support that the turning/repositioning program ismonitored and reassessed to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.

(There are no changes in the RAI version 1.12 released 9/17/2014)

TAC: §371.212(c)(12)(C) Turning/repositioning program, to include a continuous, consistent program for changing the recipient’s position andrealigning the body. There must be a specific approach that is organized, planned, documented, monitored, and evaluated;

Example #1

Goal #1 is identified as related to ‘.Q” which is identified in the grid as Dressing or Grooming Training”. The actual goal states will complete ADLswith limited assistance. There is no description of which ADLs.

RAI: ‘Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident’s self-performance in dressing and undressing, bathing and washing, andperforming other personal hygiene tasks. These activities are individualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, anddocumented in the resident’s medical record.”

Goal #2 is related to Walking Training- The goal states will move about environment with supervision.

What environment, in room or throughout facility? How will the resident move? Walking or in a wheelchair? How can you measure “supervision”?

RAI: “Code activities provided to improve or maintain the resident’s self-performance in walking, with or without assistive devices. These activitiesare individualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record.”

Per RAI, page 0-33, the time provided for items 00500A-J must be coded separately, in time blocks of 15 minutes or more.

Review:

1. Goals #1 and #2 have no measurable objectives. The goals are not individualized to the resident.

Example of a measurable objective: Mrs. Jones will comb her hair and apply her lipstick daily with verbal encouragement.

Example ala measurable intervention: Mrs. Jones will do Range of Motion exercises 15 minutes daily to fingers, wrists andelbows to maintain joint flexibility for grooming.

2. This example does not have a document recording the time spent on each goal. Since there are two techniques addressed, theexpectation is the documentation would demonstrate the time and # of days for each technique.

3. The documentation would clearly identify the staff providing the services.

Page 12: OIG Review of Restorative Programs

4, The key in the upper left corner refers to Section P3 of the MDS and combines restorative techniques making it difficult to properly codethe MDS. Reviewing MDS 3.0 with facility documentation which uses terminology from MDS 2.0 put the reviewer and facility in possiblerisk situations.

Example #2

Goal#1: Relates to two restorative techniques: strength and flexibility will increase to improve transfers and ROM. How will you measure anincrease, define baseline? How do you measure an ‘improvement”, against a baseline?

Example of a measureable objective: Mrs. Jones will increase her performance during transfers from needing limited assistance toneeding only supervision.

Goal #2: This goal could be accepted, however, SBA and SGA are therapy abbreviations and are not defined in the key. A restorative program isa nursing program and should use nursing terms.

Example rewording of Goal #2: Mrs. Jones will maintain the ability to walk 25-50 daily using a walker with limited assistance from staff.

1. This example does not have a document recording the time spent on each goal. Since there are three techniques addressed, theexpectation is the documentation would demonstrate the time and # of days for each technique.

Example #3

This example contains three goals, each for a different technique with ditlerent requirements.

Goal #1, per the provided key, refers to dressing and grooming. Per the HAL code activities are provided to improve or maintain the resident’sself-performance in dressing and undressing, bathing and washing, and performing other personal hygiene tasks. These activities areindividualized to the resident’s needs, planned, monitored, evaluated, and documented in the resident’s medical record. As written, this goal is notmeasurable, not individualized, and does not address a specific ADL.

Example of a measurable objective: Mr. Jones will shave himself daily with set up assistance only from staff.

Goal #2 relates to toileting which has specific requirements. There is no documentation to support that the resident’s “toileting program” meets therequirements of the HAl.

Per HAl, page H-5, “look for documentation in the medical record showing that the following three requirements have been met:.implementation of an individualized, resident-specific toileting program that was based on an assessment of the resident’s unique

voiding pattern.evidence that the individualized program was communicated to staff and the resident (as appropriate) verbally and through a care plan,

flow records, and a written report.notations of the resident’s response to the toileting program and subsequent evaluations, as needed”

Goal #3 is to “maintain ambulatory status”...What ambulatory status is to be maintained? Does resident use an assistive device to walk? Cane,walker, wheelchair? How far is the resident able to ambulate?

Example of a measurable objective for ambulation: Mr. Jones will ambulate from his room to and from the dining room using a walkerdaily for the noon meal with verbal cueing from staff,

1. This example does not have a document recording the time spent on each goal. Since there are three techniques addressed, theexpectation is the documentation would demonstrate the time and number of days for each technique. Per RAI, page 0-33, the timeprovided for items 00500A-J must be coded separately, in time blocks of 15 minutes or more.

2. The documentation would clearly identify the staff providing the services.

Example #4

This example demonstrates three goals and three techniques, ambulation, spiint’brace. and transfers. Please note the Nursing RestorativeProgram” applies to the discipline of PT. Approach #1 is the same as Goal #1. Per RAI, page 0-33, the time provided for items 00500A-J must becoded separately, in time blocks of 15 minutes or more.

The reviewer is unable to determine which approach goes with which technique for coding the MDS. It appears all approaches go with alltechniques and are unable to determine if the time requirement is met for all three programs.

Goal #1 would be measurable for walking and could suffice as a measurable intervention. The requirements for splint/brace assistance are notmet.

Goal #2 and #3 are the same and address transfers.

Example of a measurable objective: Sam will maintain lower extremity strength to transfer safely from bed to standing positionindependently, The exercise approaches are measurable for this goal.

1. This example does have a document recording the time spent on each goal. Since there are three techniques addressed, the expectationis the documentation would demonstrate the time and # of days for each technique which cannot be deciphered.

2. The documentation did clearly identify the staff providing the services before de-identification.
